Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Catherine Murphy: Looking at what the State liability is, we can see now that there is more than one route through which that liability can be estimated. In 2020 I asked a question of the Minister for Finance, whose Department is the parent Department for the State Claims Agency. I have just repeated that question to the Department and I should receive a response fairly soon. It is being collated....

Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Catherine Murphy: Okay. So, for example, that claim in litigation is counted as one, but I am aware that Mr. Breen has just told us there are ten claims for Casement Aerodrome. Casement Aerodrome is just one element of the Defence Forces, and there could be other claims as well. I doubt that they have been initiated since 2020. I would say that they have been ongoing since prior to 2020.

Catherine Murphy: I got this reply, with regard to the Department of Health, and I was told that it is 42. When I get a reply like this that is at total variance with the information we are provided with, it is very frustrating because when we get a reply to a parliamentary question, the one thing we want to be able to rely on is that the reply will be accurate. It is a very important source and it is on the...

Catherine Murphy: I ask have just asked that same question. That question will have gone to the Department of Finance and obviously, the State Claims Agency will deal with it. I ask that particular attention be paid to making sure that a claim is counted as an individual claim, as opposed to a mass claim. I feel that this information is wholly wrong and I am just drawing attention to it.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Air Safety (2 Mar 2023)

The State aviation safety plan 2017-20 identified the proliferation of drone use as "an emerging risk". I am seeking an update on what the action of the Government will be in relation to the recent difficulties with people acting illegally in these locations.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Air Safety (2 Mar 2023)

Catherine Murphy: The timeline will be very important in terms of when measures can be implemented. A drone has to be registered with the IAA if it weighs more than 150 g or has a camera, and very few of them do not have a camera. This is an obligation on people. The first and most important thing is safety, but disruption is also a significant issue and there are demands for immediate measures in terms of...

European Union Directive: Motion (Resumed) (28 Feb 2023)

Catherine Murphy: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for facilitating the inclusion of those of us who were late for the debate. It is far from ideal that the debate on the motion is being rushed, but we will support it. Last Friday, 24 February, was a grim milestone, marking one year since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
